I just found out that this blog I quite enjoy reading, called Stuff White People Like, has been picked up for a $300,000 book deal by Random House. Not bad for a blog that started up only 4 months ago in January. NYTimes article is here.
The postings, which satires topics in pop culture, are quite hilarious to read.
Not that my husband is any of the sort. But I thought this was an interesting blog article to share. Here is an excerpt:
In the corner of a small Japanese restaurant, a dozen dark-suited businessmen gathered at a large table. Smoke hovered over the dinner and beer disappeared as quickly as it was poured. At first glance, it looked like a typical Friday night post-work scene played out all over Tokyo’s taverns. But then your eye stops on a poster-sized sign propped up next to one of the middle-aged men. It reads:Three Golden Rules of Love:
* Thank you (say it without hesitation)
* I am sorry (say it without fear)
* I love you (say it without embarrassment)
All the men at the table stood up. Equally spaced out and still wearing their stiff black suits, they chanted in unison: “I can’t win! I won’t win! I don’t want to win!” The chant was followed by a deep bow, a straightening of the backs, big smiles and a burst of applause. The meeting of the “National Chauvinistic Husbands Association” was under way.
